They are definitely a real estate company first and foremost; after all, they do own commercial real estate on some of the most desirable street corners in the world! 

Because I have zero desire to deal with the ins and outs of managing investments (tenants, rehabs, etc.), I have a thousand more fun things I would rather be doing, life is too short (if I don't enjoy doing the ins and outs), and don't forget the big one...time is money.

Personally, I'm looking to get my feet wet with a 12-20 unit apartment building in a desirable area of Atlanta where I live.

Except for the Bigger Pocket's community...So I too desire to locate investors but I was told by a mentor that you have to play a game called hide and seek...or is that you seek and they will hide if you do not even have a property under contract.

But, ultimately the job will get done, get done well and I'll make a profit.The least desirable option is the retail-level GC who will charge $100-200 per door, give me a stress-free project, but where I won't make any money in the end!

I would like to purchase my first buy and flip property this year, but I need to gain a better knowledge of the Noblesville and Indianapolis markets which are my desired areas. 

The other factor is having desirable properties and not a hole in the wall dump, that attracts trouble.

I currently reside in Kona which just got one more desirable, there's finally good Indian food here.

Changing the image and desirability of a project usually takes time, effort and money.

If, at the time of filing such a return, the period withinwhich the converted property must be replaced has expired, or if such an election is not desired, thegain should be included in gross income for such year or years in the regular manner.
